Avra City Boutique Hotel in Chania 731 34.
Avra City Boutique Hotel stands apart in Chania by offering intimate, personalized weddings within a restored historic property located steps from the Venetian harbor.
This 4-star hotel operates with a curator's attention to detail, hosting weddings of up to 150 guests without the impersonal scale of larger resorts.
The venue's position in the city center means your celebration stays connected to Crete's authentic character rather than isolated in a resort bubble.
The hotel is very nice and clean. Breakfast was good, and we really liked the lovely inner terrace – it’s a nice spot to eat and relax. The rooms were very clean, though a bit small, but cozy. The only downside is that there was no storage space (at least not in our room), so we had to keep our clothes in the suitcase. The hotel has a parking area, but it’s quite small and often full, so we had to look for street parking instead, which wasn’t easy to find – and that was already in mid-September, so I can only imagine how hard it must be during high season. The location is quite convenient, fairly close to both the city center and the beach.
